The Monkey Flip – Lethal Defense Against a Front Tackle

A front tackle is usually used by a bigger man who is using his larger mass to take the advantage. Trying to stop him in his tracks is useless if you are smaller, it’s just basic physics. That’s why you need a move like this that doesn’t require you overpowering him.

This move is pretty simple. You check him with both of your forearms against his shoulders. This ensures that he doesn’t get a tight hold on you and prevent you from getting the guillotine.

Next you get the guillotine hold and drop to the ground. It’s very important that when you get the guillotine hold you have your forearm against his trachea.

As you go to the ground you keep one leg bend so that your knee is into his abdomen. Next you utilize your momentum and a push from the knee that’s into his abdomen to flip him over.

This is where this self defense technique gets lethal. If you retain control of his head in the guillotine when you flip him it will break his neck. This is not usually the goal of a self defense situation, but there may be times when you have no choice.

Because this is a lethal technique you should never practice it full speed, there are just too many things that can go wrong. In fact, I wouldn’t recommend practicing the flip part at and speed unless you and your training partner are very experienced it’s just too dangerous. Once his weight and momentum sends him over in the flip there is very little you can do to stop it. You’ll also want to make sure you have training mats for this one.

This is a great self defense move but only when your life is in serious danger.

I really enjoyed learning this technique and hopefully I won’t ever have to use it, but it may some day save my life. Thank you very much and I would really enjoy watching your self defence videos. Now at age 65 and not as strong as when I was thirty and in the police force, I fine your videos very helpful.

This is a good technique I have seen used one time in the past someone else used it the guy that used it was maybe 150 in weight his attacker was about275in body mass after his attackers head hit the concrete hard
and he strated to flip he let go and rolled out and left quickly

This looks like a nice move but there are two problems:
1. If the guy outweighs you by more than 70 pounds, for example, his momentum may push you over -before- you stop his shoulders with the block.
2. This more puts you on the ground where his buddies can stomp you.

Oh. “Only when your life in “serious” danger”. Is that different than a bit of danger? I walk from every fight I can. I, and I thought, everyone else on this training, walks UNLESS our life is in “serious” danger. Someone take me to school, please.

Interesting title; note that when U snap a man’s/woman’s neck that their body goes into convulsions. If U ever have to do this Be aware that muscular spasms do occur, it’s not pleasant but then they shouldn’t have attacked.

Thank you Bob for this free tip as well as other free niceties you have sent along with the very useful DVDs and products that I have bought from you Thanks andcontinued success to you Eddie Earl Hatch

Yes. I remember, Tomoe Nage. (Stomach) , and atemí waza, striking and kicking forms.
Highly effective for the chaotic streets. Nowadays one has to kill the attacker. If not he or they will find you and kill you.

This was my favorite move when I was in wrestling except i didnt throw them over me , I would get them in a cradle & pin them before they knew what happened. Slamming them head first 9 times out of 10 they wouldn’t know what happened

Today is no joke. If that’s the kind of thing that’s necessary. Then that’s the thing to do. You are the only one of you there is, fight like a thousand, don’t think about it, let you the fine tuned mechine take over and get the bad jobs over with now, who wants to carry on with what is known to be the threat, especially if it can Strike Back, the threat is a threat because it made itself known to be one. If that’s the facts. Then remove the thing that is causing a spoiling. And feel comfortable knowing that you did it as a service to all. And remain a silent hero. Peace, the Flame-O-Justice

So good to have training that can give me more than a chance to survive against the young thugs of today who have a total disregard for life. I am trying to make it more than knowledge, but weapons of personal defense that I can help,my wife to try to be one step ahead when she and I are put in a compromising situation.
